Newly broke girl
Alexandria Asher just wants to live a normal life. After her parents are sent
to prison on embezzlement charges, she enrolls in college under her mother’s
maiden name and tries her best to pretend she’s someone else.

Tristan Prescott is everything
Alex is trying to avoid. A seemingly egotistical, lazy, rich jerk, she dumps
her beer on his head when he comes on to her one night at a party. This only
spurs Tristan into action. He loves nothing more than a challenge. And the
beautiful Alex is exactly the type of challenge that intrigues him.

Despite her reluctance,
Alex finds herself quickly involved with Tristan. Underneath that playboy
exterior is a good guy, a sweet and sexy guy who she is undoubtedly falling
for. What they both don’t realize is the actions of Alex’s parents are the
reason for so much tragedy in Tristan’s family. And when Tristan discovers who
Alex and her family really is, can he forgive and forget?

MY THOUGHTS!!

“I’m not going to act like that asshole Mr. Big who wasted too much time when he should have just been with Carrie”

I was very excited to get a chance to read Slow Play, since I loved the first two books in The Rules Series. This book is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. Of course, from reading the first two books, I was excited to see who would be able to keep Tristan’s attention. Alex was such a great match for him! She has gone through a lot over the past couple of years, but has learned how to stand on her own two feet. I also, loved the banter between Tristan and Alex, I liked that she was able to dish back when he went after her.

All of the SITC references were amazing too! If you are a lover of that TV series, you’ll love all the references!

Again, this was an amazing book and one of the best in the series! I could not put it down from the very first page.
